      • Simple Mission is the third album by the Canadian band Glass Tiger, released in 1991.
      The single "My Town" features Rod Stewart on lead vocals alongside Alan Frew, and reached No. 33 on the UK, marking the band's second highest position in that country. "Animal Heart" received a Juno Award nomination. The album was certified platinum in Canada.


      Production


      The album was produced mostly by Tom Werman. Tony Thompson played drums on the majority of its tracks. The band attempted to incorporate rock styles alongside its pop.


      Critical reception



      The Toronto Star wrote: "By the fourth or fifth listen, one senses the pure, unvarnished Glass Tiger, and that's a band still very much rooted in the ethos of mid-'70s arena-rock, a hybrid of your basic REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Journey and Kansas." The Windsor Star noted that the album "has a raunchier, gutsier sound on most of the tunes, a conscious effort on their part to emphasize guitar rather than keyboards." The Edmonton Journal concluded that "every cut on this uneven effort is slathered with rackety electric guitar riffs and self-consciously aggressive vocals that ape everyone from Aerosmith's Steve Tyler to Corey Hart."
